This is song comes from pining over summertime in the cold months of the year. 

Park Song

Another week. Another song.

This song was started on March 25, 2008. It was finished today. It was born when Austin and I were eating lunch in Bryant Park and thought it would be a good idea to quit our lives and go to Tennessee and become country music stars. We also decided to co-author a novel that day. We also have a pilot cooking show under our belts that we have never seen and actually no one has ever seen. We are really good at ideas.

In a way... this song sums up a lot about our friendship.... we are building up a penny collection to reach our dreams.

This was super fun to make and this kind of collaboration is exactly why I started this whole project. I really love the idea of connecting to the people in your life through music. And no lack of ability or know-how can stop that. Proof is in the poorly crafted music video above.

woah...I dropped the ball

It's pretty impressive how quickly I dropped the ball on this project.

But in 2010 I picked up the ball again. I found it under the couch. Covered in dust and cat hair.

I made this song for a silly contest at my college. You have to pick out an art piece from their collection, get inspired by it, and spit some kind of art work back. This is my dribble.

This dude Xu Bing was sent by the Chinese government on a rustification program where he had to learn to farm. While there he made a wood print of a vegetable field. This was considered a radical piece of art because it didn't say anything about how great the Chinese Government was.

The song is called: The government saw politics, Xu Bing saw a farm

I have noticed that most of the creations I make on my own sound really melancholy...my next song will sound peppier. Oh, and this whole thing was made on a guitar with a broken G-string and I used a drum stick as a slide.

There is a boat going by...

with a sail on it.

This is a song I co-wrote with a 5 year old named Stella.

The best parts all are hers.

Thanksgiving Drippings

There is something about the lack of light that brings the gloom out of me. But at least I turned that gloom into something tangible... song of the week #4.

This song is called: "Disaster Song"

3rd Week: Technology Can't Hold Me Back

Despite many efforts to share this song in a more compelling format. The land of technology kept on failing me. I do enjoy the next song, with or without the video accompaniment I edited...but could not successfully save as shareable file.

This song comes from a great activity I partook in a week or so back with friends.

Which goes as follows:

1. find a youtube karaoke video with no vocal track.
2. sing along and record the song the way you think it should sound.
3. play it back.

This is a song by my youtube karaoke band called Hate... but in actuality the real band that performs is called Hale. If I can ever figure out how to post the video I made...I'll do it!

Members include:

Myself

Heather

Erica

Ben

Here is the song:

If you want to make your own version of the song. Here is the blank karaoke video.

the summer is somewhere far away, like montauk or far rockaway

Song a week.

It's really happening.

Two for two.

This song is a collaboration song. I brought a surprise verse to Max.

And then a series of surprises later this song was born.

I love it. Happy lazy days.

It is called "We're Not Going Anywhere".

It is audio soup for providing comfort and fighting colds.
